For short-stay visas and entry, you generally need a passport valid for at least six months from your date of entry, a compliant passport photograph, and completed EASE pre-registration.

Residence permits and the Green Card require more extensive documentation, typically including a valid passport with entry visa and entry stamp, a criminal-record certificate from your country of origin (translated and legalised), a Cabo Verde criminal-record check, medical and vaccination certificates, and evidence supporting the specific route (work contract, enrolment, family relationship, investment or property purchase).
